The  Institute  has  attempted  to  obtain  the  beat 
original  copy  available  for  filming.  Features  of  this

which  may  alter  any  of  the  images  in  the 
reproduction,  or  which  may  significantly  change 
the  usual  method  of  filming,  are  checked  below.

the  last  page  with  a  printed  or  illustrated  impres- 
sion, or  the  bacic  ^over  when  appropriate.  All 
other  original  copies  are  filmed  beginning  on  the

sion, and  ending  on  the  last  page  with  a  printed 
or  illustrated  impression.

Maps,  plat-ss.  charts,  etc.,  may  be  filmed  at 
different  reduction  ratios.  Those  too  large  to  be 
entirely  included  in  one  exposure  are  filmed 
beginning  in  the  upper  left  hand  corner,  left  to 
right  and  top  to  bottom,  as  many  tumes  as 
required.  The  following  diagrams  illustrate  the 
method:

Check  List  of  North  American  Birds. 


NOTK.  — The  species  are  numbered  consecutively  fVom  1  to  636. 
Stragglers  have  the  number  in  brackets.  Varieties  bear  the  number 
of  the  species  to  which  they  belong,  with  a,  j,  c,  etc.,  unless  a  variety 
is  our  only  representative  of  the  species,  when  it  is  separately  enu- 
merated. Obscure  or  doubtful  species  are  marked  with  a  note  of 
interrogation  after  the  number.  Each  species  is  followed  by  the 
original  'lescriber's  name;  when  this  is  not  also  the  authority  for 
the  nomenclature  adopted  the  name  of  such  authority  is  added,  the 
former  being  retained  in  parenthesis.  A  similar  practice  is  observed 
in  the  cases  of  varieties ;  when,  as  in  most  instances,  they  were  origi- 
nally described  as  species  they  are  followed  by  the  authority  for  their 
reduction  to  varieties,  as  well  as  by  the  name  of  the  describer;  the 
latter  in  parenthesis. 

The  List  contains  a  very  few  species  discovered  since  the  "Key" 
was  printed;  otherwise,  it  is  an  exact  reflection  of  that  work,  the 
arrangement  and  nomenclature  being  identical.  The  numbers  of  the 
genera  as  used  in  the  Key  are  given  in  the  head  lines  of  the  List  in 
order  to  facilitate  reference. 

Authors  are  at  variance  in  the  formation  of  the  genitive  of  Latinized 
proper  names ;  in  the  absence  of  any  universally  observed  mle,  euphony 
may  perhaps  he  advantageously  consulted.  L.  the  Key,  the  i  was 
doubled  in  all  cases  of  words  ending  in  a  consonant,  the  nominative 
being  considered  to  end  in  -lus;  this  practice  is  preferably  applicable 
to  monosyllables,  as  Bairdii,  and  polysyllables,  as  Audubonii.  But  it 
Is  necessary  to  use  single  i  in  words  ending  in  r,  as  Cooperi,  and  best 
to  do  so  in  most  cases  of  dissyllables,  as  Wilsoni,  Cassini,  Swainsoni. 
The  same  is  the  case  with  all  words  ending  in  a  vowel. 

The  following  are  the  abbreviations  used  for  authors'  names  occur- 
ring most  frequently ;  others  are  for  the  most  part  written  in  full  :—

Prepared  under  circumstances  of  remote  isolation  wliidi  deprived 
the  autlior  of  tlie  advantage  of  certain  worlds  of  reference  be  desired 
to  consult,  the  CHECK  LIST  contains  some  names  for  which  no 
authority  is  cited,  and  in  a  few  instances  a  change  of  the  authority 
given  may  be  required. 

One  new  species  has  been  added  to  the  North  American  fauna  during 
the  printing  of  the  List;  five  additional  known  species  have  since  been 
ascertained  to  occur  in  this  country,  and  meanwhile  several  new  varie- 
ties have  been  published  after  the  impression  had  passed  the  page 
where  they  should  respectively  appear;  these  are  brought  into  the 
present  connection.  Most  of  them  appear  entitled  to  varietal  recog- 
nition; but  in  printing  the  names  formally,  for  the  convenience  of 
those  who  may  desire  to  use  such  names  in  labelling,  the  author  must 
not  necessarily  be  held  to  endorse  them  in  every  instance. 

The  body  of  the  List  was  printed,  and  some  early  copies  distributed, 
In  Dec,  1873;  but  the  publication  of  the  volume  was  held  over  until 
1874,  to  insert  in  the  Appendix  names  then  about  being  published.
